I recently was given a new box of updated business cards. Maybe ONE THOUSAND business cards! (?) As Program Director/Brand Manager for 99.9 The Hawk and 107.1 The Bone, and also Afternoon DJ for The Hawk, I will not meet enough people in a true "business situation" to give them one of my "business" cards until my supply exhausts, possibly in 2017.
Anyway, I now carry a small stack of cards in my pocket all the time. I have been using them as note cards. I either write down trivia questions for my Trivia Night (Tuesday Night Trivia at Roosevelt's Bar & Grill in Bethlehem), or I write down thing things that I might blog about, while knowing there's not really enough subject matter for a true, full-length blog.
So this post will just contain "random musings" that I would like to share. Nothing deep. Hopefully you can relate to some of them. I always welcome your comments, thoughts, rants, disagreements, agreements, and/or opposing points of view.
Here's what I have off the back of my "business" cards:
- I have an unnatural fear of Chiropractors. I have this crazy idea that when the Chiropractor "cracks my neck" quickly and I will be forever paralyzed. I know...it makes no sense. But I am not at all afraid to fly, and I bet more people have that phobia than my fear of Chiropractors! So far in my life, I haven't sought relief from a Chiropractor. I guess I was born with a strong back, or, I've been really lucky!
- Every time I turn Cable TV on on the weekends, "House" is on. On like, LOTS of channels. I have never taken the time to watch a full episode, so I can't say it's not that good -- just the opposite -- if it's on that much it MUST be pretty good. Maybe one day on the weekend I will devote 60 minutes to "House", which seems to be on at 1am, 2am, 9am, 10am, 11am, Noon, 3pm, 4pm, 5pm, etc....
- I did see a 90-minute special on PBS about the career of comedian Bob Newhart. It was excellent! I almost picked up the phone and sent a contribution to PBS. But like the state budget, I'm cutting back. If I see two more shows I enjoy as much as that Bob Newhart bio, I will send PBS 39 $50. $75 if they're really good.
- I really can't do "shots" of liquor anymore. Not that that's a bad thing. I recently had major sleep apnea surgery, but forgot that at the retirement party for our Nassau Broadcasting Poconos VP/General Manager Maureen Barth. Anyway, I found out, when they take out your uvula, you cannot tip your head back and do a shot. Well, you can, but the aforementioned "shot" goes right up your nose. Your uvula prevents anything swallowed at a strange angle from going up your nasal cavity. So what happens when the ENT surgeon takes your uvula OUT? Well...just try to "snort" a shot of anything! That's what it feels like. After I caved in to peer pressure and actually unwillingly "snorted" my Jaegermeister, I knew my days of doing "shots" were over. No more shots, thank you. The "stopper" is gone, and I sleep much better without that nasty uvula!
- I think my Dad Larry (who is 77 years old), never, ever, wore a pair of blue jeans. Ever. I have nothing else to say, except that what the hell did he wear all those years? I just washed eight pairs tonight as I was typing this. If I didn't have blue jeans, I would wear either shorts, sweatpants, or really wrinkled khakis! Thank God for blue jeans! :-)
- I recently upgraded my cable account to include a DVR. I just got used to using it. A few weeks ago, I decided I would work in the yard and record the end of a PGA Golf tournament. Well, the tourney went to extra holes, and when that happens, you don't get to see the end of the tourney! I was watching the third playoff hole, when you guessed it, the DVR stopped. I went online two days later to see who won. I really didn't care that much, so why did I even record it?
- Jimmy Fallon is about as bad a talk show host as Chevy Chase or Magic Johnson. He is pathetically bad. When Conan O'Brien first aired, I actually knew he would be pretty good. I;m happy he is now The Tonight Show host. I got what he was trying to be. But Jimmy Fallon...sorry. He won't make it deep into 2010, unless NBC just wants to protect their decision. I usually give new hosts a little rope for a learning curve, but mark my words: Jimmy Fallon was a very bad decision!
And that's it...for now. I will save some more business cards with my random musings and get back to you. But hey, I would love to hear from you! Agree, disagree, or tell me something I never knew. I will always give you credit, and you'll lend credibility to this blog.
